******************
The knots on lifes’ string will not be
The definitive factor that breaks me
At the darkness’s behest, dark clouds hover
Carpeting the sky, attempts at
Cutting my ties with the source;
Redundantly overshadowing an otherwise
Gloomy quest.
Sometimes,
Pain comes from where we least expect it
My quest for love did not go
As I had initially intended,
Instead, it took a turn, then another,
And then another …
I do not know what saddens me more
The betrayal, or my heart becoming accustomed to it.
Many great men have embraced the pain
Used it as an excuse to inflict
It would be so easy, wouldn’t it?
Undoubtedly, this event will change
The established code
But not facilitate
Inhibitions that coil the light
In my heart
Instead, it will be that
Which I step on
To reach that
Which I deserve.
